Audition this month for Farmington Hills Youth Theatre’s ‘Shrek’

Thespians young and old have an opportunity this month to audition for the Farmington Hills Youth Theatre’s fall production of Disney’s “Shrek,” on stage November 15-18.

Open auditions will be held Tuesday, August 21, 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.; Thursday, August 23 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.; and Saturday, August 25 from noon to 6:00 p.m. at the Costick Center, 28600 W. 11 Mile Rd. in Farmington Hills.

Disney’s “Shrek” features an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking donkey and a feisty princess who resists rescue – not to mention a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude, and more than a dozen fairy tale misfits.

Newcomers and experienced actors (grades 1 through 12 and adults) may drop in at any time during audition hours and need not prepare for the process. Participants are asked to bring a recent photo to auditions; all other materials are supplied.

A free audition workshop scheduled for Tuesday, August 14 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Costick Center, provides an opportunity to learn the songs and dances before the formal audition process. No pre-registration is required.
